Allow assigning priorities to contacts inside meta-contact

Description
Thanks for introducing meta-contacts. They're great!
I'll just quote a comment from the Ubuntu meta-contacts fixed bug [1]:
"Just one additional thought: this should support priorities, on a general and per-contact basis. For example, given a contact with both jabber and MSN, a FOSS user may prefer to contact someone through Jabber as a general rule. But a particular user may use jabber in work, and MSN on his phone, in which case MSN might be the better choice for that contact.
"I'd suggest implementing a protocol-priority widget, and adding instances to both session-wide preferences, and individual contact properties."
Additionally, I think assigning priorities for multiple IDs of the same protocol is also needed; someone can have both Jabber at work and Jabber at home.
